German Eike Dieter Schmidt new director of the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte

The new director of the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte arrives from the Uffizi in Florence: he is German Eike Dieter Schmidt.

The Ministry of Culture announced in the evening the outcome of the international public selection for the assignment of the position of director of some Italian museums, of the first and second tier. The outgoing director of the Uffizi Galleries succeeds Sylvain Bellenger.

“I had just finished my speech at the presentation of Nicola Samorì’s exhibition at the Treasury of San Gennaro in the Cathedral of Naples when the news of the appointment reached us. We were going to toast after the presentation and the toast at this point became for this new assignment. I was really very moved,” commented Schmidt.
